I have no idea where that oring goes. I didn't see any orings that size when i pulled mine apart. There's one on the idle mixture screw but if you didn't pull the idle mixture screw out it wouldn't be for that. Somebody through in a mistery part to mess with your mind. lol

Thanks Jerry. To avoid taking the needle apart, is it already in the middle position from the factory? I’d rather not risk taking it apart and struggling to get it back together if it’s not needed.
I’ll just assume that o-ring was a little gift thrown in for fun and ignore it. lol Oh, and those hand grip covers make a nice difference in riding comfort and your Dawn dish soap trick worked great. Dumb question, but I ran the bike with the petcock in all 3 positions for a few minutes each and the bike never did stall. I assume the tab up is run, down is reserve, and to the right is off? I ended up just clamping the fuel line to prevent the gas in the tank from going everywhere. |

Yes the grips make a difference. The throttle feels better in your hand especially if you have big hands like i do. They also reduce vibration. I have them on my Hawk too. The lever end down is run, Middle off and up is reserve.

Great, thanks again Jerry. And yeah, I have huge hands.
I’m also considering getting some weighted bar ends to reduce the vibrations even further. I’ll let everyone know what I get and how well they work. |

Whenever you change the rear sprocket you will notice a big reduction in vibration. The engine won't be revving so high when cruising 55-60 mph.

That’s definitely next on my list. I need to go ahead and order the sprocket so it’s ready to go when I have time to install it.

You will be amazed how much different the bike will feel. I did the same on my Hawk. That thing was geared to climb trees. lol

Tonight, I have the carb back on and I think everything went back together correctly. I went with the 105 jet per Jerry’s suggestion with my otherwise stock bike.
I also installed the phone holder with charger. It won’t charge through my case apparently, but I just ordered a 5 pack of black 6” charge cables so I can charge my phone on the run if needed. I can just plug one into this charge port on the side of the holder and underneath into my phone. I also readjusted the brake and clutch levers to as low a position as possible without hitting the windshield and tightened up the clutch adjustment a bit to remove some slack. I’m going to install the Speedo DRD next. Jerry, do you have any pictures of the wire location you tapped for this? Apparently one wire goes to power, ground, and then signal in and out. Thanks! |

I don't remember the colors of the wires but can check tomorrow after I get off work if you need me to. I used a volt meter to determine which was positive and negative. The remaining wire will be the signal wire. That's the only wire you need to cut. The power and ground I just stripped the plastic coating and crimped the bullet connectors on.

Just follow the wire up from the speed sensor on the left side of the front wheel.

Gotcha. That was my thought as well, but I only saw one black wire. I guess I need to strip that back to expose the different colored wires.

The wires are exposed under the dash at the speedometer connector.

Are you accessing that by removing the dash cluster? Coming in from underneath? What’s the best route?
